"I am using Fedora 6 and configured ftp service, create user ""ftpuser"" and add into /etc/vsftpd/user_list. when I open my Windows 7 file explorer and launch ftp server (ftp://server ip addresss:) Windows can not access this folder. Then I click on ok and right click on empty space of explorer and find one option login as than click and appear ftp login screen as like default for Windows, supply user name and password than login successfully than try to create folder error record ""550 create directory operation failed"" one things to share you all when I configured first time ftp server this happened smoothly. I have uploaded more documents from Windows to Linux box created folder but don`t understand what the mistake on Fedora box. Please help."

Are you sure the user you have created has Read/Write permissions to the ftp folder ? Can you verify that. And are you being prompted for user login when you access the ftp user from Windows box ? Linux can be a pain when it comes file and folder permissions.

In user_list you can authentication user. If any user writes in this file that user can't login with ftp.

I would suggest to use samba to access files and documents from fedora
and make sure the folder should have read and write permissions for the samba user.

As I understand when user login to ftp server with his home directory previously when I login ftp server with user which has been added into user_list file and uploaded file and created folder and go to Linux box and check user /home/ftp1(user of Linux box) than able to see all the uploaded file so by default user has full write his home directory.

Dear Mohammad,

There are two files in /etc/vsftpd one is user_list and other is ftpuser as I know when you put user in ftpuser file to restrict login from to ftp server and add user user in user_list to allow login to ftp server. we put entry in vsftpd.conf file like below

userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=no
in the last line of vsftpd.conf file so no matter to login,login is successfull on my present configuration.
